This stylish home has been tastefully redesigned using reclaimed wood and green materials. The cabin-like interior is tranquil and warm; once inside you will be swept away from reality and forget the world around you. The first thing you will notice upon entering is the beamed ceiling in the living room. The wood is made from vertical grain western red cedar and has a Japanese architectural feel to it. The living room features a large, 9-paned window that overlooks the front garden. The heart of the living room is free standing wood burning stove which is enveloped by rectangular teal tiles made by Heath Ceramics. The stove supplies enough heat to warm the house on chilly evenings. The dining room features Spanish cedar wainscoting and a large sliding glass door onto the back deck. Adjacent to the dining room is the open kitchen which has a vaulted corrugated metal ceiling, custom made plyboo cabinets, bamboo flooring, dual paned windows, and a prep space with Spanish cedar counters. And did I mention that the seller did all of this? The larger bedroom contains built in shelves as well as a custom-built closet/armoire/workspace. The other bedroom features hand made Philippine mahogany and poplar-weaved closet doors. Off of the dining room is a deck made from salvaged redwood with ipe slats. The deck opens up into the spacious backyard with raised vegetable beds and mature trees. Centrally located to BART, parks, schools, pool, and shopping.
